The Canary Islands are catering to a new audience, so cast aside those preconceptions and enjoy lovely beaches, activities aplenty and some startlingly beautiful scenery on one of our Canary Islands holidays. Located 700 miles south of Spain in the Atlantic Ocean, the Canaries archipelago consists of seven islands (Gran Canaria, La Palma, Tenerife, Lanzarote, Fuerteventura, La Gomera and El Hierro) and enjoys a spring-like climate throughout the year. The long golden beaches, the subtropical hinterlands dotted with forests and volcanoes, the many sports activities (cycling, hiking, surfing and more),
the quality of the accommodation and the ease of access are all reasons to opt for a stay in the Canaries. Finally, the islands’ cultural composite of Europe, Africa and America is another intriguing reason to enjoy a Canary Islands holiday.

All Izzy's recommendations were excellent. The hotels were a lot of fun. The pre-Easter preparations in Seville were thrilling. I will definitely use Original Travel in the future.

Finally, for those who want some winter sun, and for families who want a shoulder season escape in either May or October half term.
What will you only find in the Canary Islands?
There is a unique charm to the Canary Islands, where you will feel simultaneously at the other end of the world and somewhere in Africa, and yet somewhere unmistakably Spanish. Explore mountain ranges in Gran Canaria and La Palma; large arid expanses in Fuerteventura; laurel forests in La Gomera’s Garajonay National Park and black sand deserts in Tenerife. Seven islands, seven very distinct ecosystems.
